Well.....here's the problem.....i don't know how to include PHP in the same file to do form action self....or some like that......sorry, i'm really newbie in php.....but i want to learn...

I need to know how to Send a email from PHP in Windows, i've downloaded MailServer Pro....

You know, SMTP connect, and that things....then Send the email with headers in html......

The email should be basically, just to learn how to, and then i can modify some things...

Well......i made a connection to MySQL bucause i need to store a key in the database, then you should confirm it with the link arrived to your email...

And else, i need to know how to programe a CRON JOB, that 7 days past since the email sent and no confirmation did, delete the account.......
If the account is confirmed, then create it......

well.....sorry for ask it but i really don't know....thanks a lot....

there are many such forms
in many many topics
It is the same structure, whether is login or register
http://phpbuilder.com/board/search.php :login form

first part is to check if there is some POSTed values
if there is something posted, check for empty fields,
and create some message, to fill all required fields
if all required fields submitted, then store these values in DB
and give an OKAY message and a link where to go now
if nothing posted (first time page is loaded)
or if required fields was not completed, then
SHOW FORM HTML
